Chapter 105 There must be something strange
"Leisure Ranger?" Wei Liangfu couldn't wait to pick up the script and read out the title of the cover.
"Beach Ambulance Team" has just been completed and it was sold smoothly. It is expected to be good and the cost can be recovered.
Wei Liangfu was eagerly waiting for work to start filming a TV series, and he was also a person who couldn't rest.
During the Chinese New Year, I stayed at home with my elders and my wife and children for half a month. I had nothing to do all day, and it almost made him grow hair.
Fortunately, on the first day of the New Year's work, Xiong Dawei threw the new drama on his desk.
Xiong Dawei smiled and said, "This is a story about smart cars, with science fiction elements and should be popular with audiences."
Wei Liangfu looked through the script and asked casually: "Don't you continue filming the second part of the Beach Ambulance Team? With the first part as the base, the second part should be sold better."
Before the filming of "Beach Ambulance", Xiong Dawei told him that the drama can be filmed at least five.
Now that the first part has just been completed, Xiong Dawei suddenly changed his target.
"No," Xiong Dawei shook his head and said, "We need to leave enough time to make the reputation of "Beach Ambulance Team" ferment, so there is no hurry to the second part."
Wei Liangfu nodded slowly with his lips pursed. He looked at the plot summary and asked: "Can it be technically achieved?"
"It's nothing difficult." Xiong Dawei said: "It just needs to be modified two cars. There are not many stunt shots to use. To put it bluntly, this Knight Ranger is no different from the Beach Ambulance Team.
One highlight is the beauty in the swimsuit, and the other is a talking car."
Wei Liangfu thought about it and nodded with a smile. That's really the case.
"How is it? Are you confident? We will introduce partners to this movie."
"Partner?" Wei Liangfu looked at Xiong Dawei unexpectedly and asked, "Do you want to issue it in the country?"
Xiong Dawei nodded: "It is best to go to a national TV station, and the worst is it to be a big local station like Sunshine Station and Shuzhong Station. It should be a step further."
Wei Liangfu rubbed his thick chin with his hands and murmured: "This is not easy to deal with, Big Bear."
Xiong Dawei also scratched his head worriedly.
But filming another TV series dedicated to overseas markets is not what he wants.
It can be seen from "Beach Ambulance Team" that the consumption capacity of overseas markets is really limited, and it cannot help him and Wei Liangfu become famous.
The protagonist of "The Knight" is actually the car. Because the overseas market is generally poor and lacks the heritage of automobile culture, it is still a matter of whether it is easy to sell after shooting.
It has been eighty years since cars entered the Celestial Empire. Now every family in China has a car, and every middle-class family has one.
The country has a strong automobile industry and a deep automobile culture.
Xiong Dawei just wanted to put this comedy on domestic TV platforms.
This way, there are sponsors and audiences.
Large TV stations are the best partners, but they have strong capital and have always adhered to the system of self-made broadcasting and have firmly grasped the copyright in their own hands.
Xiong Dawei wants to cooperate with National Radio and Television Station or Pacific TV Station. He must first impress others, and also persuade them to accept Wei Liangfu as director and become the protagonist himself.
If you think about it, it is almost impossible.
As for copyright, there is no need to think about it. People would rather not cooperate than let go of copyright.
Wei Liangfu thought for a long time, held his hands and said slowly: "I think we should start with local TV stations, such as Sunshine Station, which is good."
Xiong Dawei nodded with a "hmm".
Local TV stations need to be much more relaxed in cooperation, and most of them choose investment methods.
Many film and television companies will choose to cooperate with local stations and come to the door with planning books. Film and television companies provide scripts, directors and actors to get some money.
The TV station invested part of the money, and after the filming was finished, the broadcast was played on the local station, and the income was divided according to the investment ratio.
Wei Liangfu felt that this method is most likely to be successful, and as for the partners, they need to carefully choose.
Xiong Dawei said: "Anyway, let's get the outline, script and script first. We'll prepare for the early stage. As for the TV station, we can talk about it slowly."
In the next few days, he and Wei Liangfu were busy writing scripts and scripts.
Xu Yingluo and Huilanxin are also very busy, and the development of home game consoles and arcades has reached a critical period.
The visual operating system development team is growing rapidly.
The animation company is producing two animations at the same time. The first episode of "Fortress of Space" has been completed, and Whelanxin has to organize dubbing and soundtracks. Fortunately, these are the strengths of the music company.
Half a month later, Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu took the planner, scripts, and scripts to the Demon City.
First, I got an appointment with an old acquaintance at Pacific TV, producer Li from the children's program team and secretary of the TV station's director.
Xiong Dawei still wants to try a national TV station first, and if it doesn’t work, then go to the local station.
After talking about his thoughts in the hotel, Li Zhiying shook his head after hearing this. He had a good relationship with Xiong Dawei, so he didn't have to beat around the bush and said directly: "It's not easy to deal with, brother."
Xiong Dawei smiled and said, "It is because I know it's not easy to deal with that, I'll ask you first."
Li Zhiyi has been working on Pacific TV for more than 20 years and knows the rules in the station very well.
He said: "First of all, the copyright is hard to say. This is different from an animation."
Xiong Dawei smiled: "We can do without copyright."
If you want to cooperate with a big TV station, you must make sacrifices in copyright.
When Li Zhiyi saw Xiong Dawei understands the rules, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiong Dawei's electric art game is a big advertising player in their children's column group. He has a stable advertising fee of 300,000 yuan per month and is his big funder, so he has to be careful to serve him.
Secretary Dong also said from the side: "That's easy to say."
Li Zhiyi said: "What are your conditions, brother?"
"I am the leading actor, director of Old Wei," Xiong Dawei patted Wei Liangfu's generous shoulders and said, "We can provide half of the production cost."
"Cheng, brother," Li Zhiyi said: "I'll ask you, but to be honest, the possibility is not too high, you need to be prepared."
He knew the strength of the TV station very well. Besides, hundreds of people in the production department would not be willing to others to steal their jobs, and he would inevitably obstruct them.
Xiong Dawei smiled relaxedly and said, "Just ask, but we know that the production department probably won't agree. We have a second-hand plan.
At worst, it’s just like the beach ambulance team, which specializes in overseas markets.”
"The Knight" must be filmed. Even if you lose money, you can just lose less. The first part accumulates reputation, and the second part can make money.
Copyright operation plus videotape can always be earned back, but the payment is slower.
Li Zhiyi picked up the wine glass and said, "Your brother is a sensible person, then I'll feel at ease."
Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu waited in the Magic City for two days, and were not idle either. By the way, they discussed the shipping and payment of handheld machines with Hao Child Toys Company after next year.
Two days later, Secretary Dong called Xiong Dawei, but nothing unexpected happened, the Pacific Production Department refused.
It’s okay to shoot it. Xiong Dawei can be the starring actor, but from the director to the crew, everyone must be from the Pacific, and Panda Media has to provide 70% of the shooting cost.
It means that Xiong Dawei brought funds to the group and bought a leading role.
Xiong Dawei could only say to Secretary Dong on the phone, "It's a pity, I look forward to working together next time."
Secretary Dong also said on the phone: "I've watched the planner. The very good idea is...ah, it's a pity."
Xiong Dawei later called Xu Yingluo and told her that the matter was not done and she would go home immediately.
Xu Yingluo chuckled. She guessed that Xiong Dawei's trip would not go well, and she also understood the domineering style of large-scale TV stations.
"Does my mother want to help you find someone?"
Xiong Dawei said calmly: "No need. If this doesn't work, there is another one. If you always ask your mother to help me, I will become a slut. What will your parents think of me?"
"Okay," Xu Yingluo didn't think this was a big deal and said, "You can make your own decisions, just a few million, we can afford it now."
After putting down the phone, Xiong Dawei flattened her mouth. This woman had to expand after making some money. Millions were just a few million. When she went back, she had to persuade and educate her in an easy-to-understand way.
Back in Sunshine City, as soon as he returned to Panda Media’s office downstairs, Huilanxin caught them in his office.
When she entered the door, she asked directly: "What's going on? The people from Pacific TV called you a few times. I told them that you were on the plane, and they said they would call you and ask you to wait a moment."
Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu were confused, didn’t they both refuse? What else did Pacific TV ask them for?
He picked up the phone on Huilanxin's desk and dialed it to Secretary Dong.
Secretary Dong answered the phone and said excitedly: "Brother Xiong, you are back. Our director will study it again and think this drama can be filmed~!"
Xiong Dawei thought to himself, what happened to you people in the Pacific? It was so unreliable, and asked: "Can the Pacific agree with our conditions?"
Secretary Dong smiled and said, "In principle, you are the starring actor and Director Wei will be the director. We think it is acceptable. As for other conditions, we can discuss it again. Please ask you and Director Wei to go back to the Demon City again.
Don't worry, we are very sincere."
Xiong Dawei put down the phone and scratched his head, refused in front, and agreed in the back... Something abnormal is wrong, and something must be strange.
What's the problem?
